The Marathon run commemorates the run of 18,000 Athenian soldiers, who ran back the 26 miles to Athens after defeating the Persian infantry at Marathon, in order to defend the city against an attack by the Persian cavalry which was being shipped around to Athens by sea while the Athenian army was engaged at Marathon.
After the battle, the Athenians realised that the Persians were about to capture Athens which was undefended in their absence at the battlefield. The Athenian army ran back the 26 miles to the city to defend it, and this run by 18,000 Athenians was the model for today's marathon run at sporting events. Of course today's runners don't do it in sandals carrying weapons and armour.
